THE STATE EXCHANGE TABLE.
A NUGGET OF APPROXIMATIONS.

|
| Richmond Palladium: Trade never thrives
| when labor is depressed, and when labor has full
| and profitable employment we always have
good times
| 1T LOOKS THAT WAY.
! Lafayette News: The free-trade conspiracy
TO turn industries of the United States over to
| Great Britain begins to look as if it would prove
| total failure.
| JUDGE HAMMOND FOR GOVERNOR.
| LAFAYETTE News: The Republicans of north
| ern Indiana would not object TO the nomination
| of Judge E. P. Hammond for Governor of the
! State. Judge Hammond is very able man and
is deservedly popular.
WINNING PLATFORM.
South Bend Tribune: Profession and a pure
| franchise will be the main principles of the
platform upon which the Republican party will
| go before the people in the next campaign. And
| sucn platform will win.
WILLING TO TRADE.
Auburn Dispatch: We hope the next years
platform of the Democracy will be outspoken
should be perfectly willing TO trade Republican
free-traders for Democratic protectionists, far
as numbers are concerned
IT Is TO BE HOPED so.
Anderson Herald: The people of Indiana
have enough OF Democratic mismanagemeut of
the benevolent institutions, and they do not care
to risk another cowboy majority In the State
Senate. One experience of that kind in gen.
Grafton is more than enough
WHAT SHOULD MEAN.
Columbia City Commercial: Protec ton with
the Republicans, in the next campaign, will not
only mean protection to home industries from
foreign pauper labor, but protection to all legal
voters il their right to vote as they please and
have the same honestly counted
TO SERVE THE PUBLIC.
Terre Haute Express: If Mr. Villas really
wants TO render service to the public and be
strictly within the law. let him bring about a
more efficient service by employing competent
in the railway mail service where the abuse
has grown to be national grievance.
PARTY OF PROGRESS
Columbus Republican: The Republican party
cannot afford become mere party of opposi-
tion That might do very we'll for the Democ-
racy, but when the Republican party ceases to
be of principles and progressive and ag-
gressive ideas IL ceases TO be the Republican
party.
NO CAUSE FOR COMPLAINT.
Clay County Enterprise: When man can
buy good shirt for so cents and a common
suit of clothes for so and an excellent one for
SIS, IL would seem that he has very little cause
complain account of the robbery of reve-
nue. laws, which it is claimed is adding to the cost
of such articles.
A SUGGESTION.
Corydon Republican: How to get rid of the
surplus is question agitating the minds of
the politicians. Liberal pensions to the old SOL
diers. who made II possible to have a national
treasury in which a surplus might be deposited,
will get some OF it out of the vaults and into
circulation among the masses.
RESOURCES OF SOUTHERN INDIANA
Jacksonville News Maurice Thompson seems
think that Georgia is the only place where
people have squirrel-dogs and know how to
hunt squirrels, Likewise that the turkey and
pheasant (grouse are extinct in Indiana. Now
If he vii! come southern Indiana we'll show
him squirrels dogs to hunt them, turkeys and
pheasants-
THE OBJECTIONS TO GENERAL HARRISON
Nincennes Commercials The Democratic pa-
pers try very hard, indeed, to rake MP something
against Senator Harrison. About the worst |
they have found against him thus far, however,
is that he is respectable gen tleman with rare |
talent and eloouence. This may be ground for |
faut-fnding with some Democrats. but not ali, |
we believe.
MUNCIE's GAS WELLS
Muncie Times: Muncie has now eleven gas |
wells. and not poor one among the number. |
Tho talk that other towns around have in
dulged il, the claims of having ''gushers," 1.-The
strongest well in the State" and much of like
quality, has been very amusing to Muncie peo-
pie. who aware all the time that if
there wei. stronger than at least three of |
ours, it would be almost an impossi billty to
troll it.
COURTESY" AND Mr. LAMAR
Lafayette Call: Many a wrong has been DONE
and many a crime covered up, by appealing to
some courtesy" or precedent like this. It is
health for the body politic to cut them all off,
and let things stand their own merits-or de-
merits, like this of Lamar's. There ought
TO be no kind of courtesy which would put
any sort of stress Senator vote for put
ting on the Supreme Bench a man who knows
nothing, experimentay, of either law or
loyalty.
